<SCstamper> hi all

<C_LION> HEY SC

<C_LION> GLAD YOU ALL COULD MAKE IT

C_LION> IS EVERYONE HERE NOW?

<C_LION> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html

SCstamper is here

cindyc looks around and nods

<C_LION> OK WE WILL GET STARTED

<cindyc> gosh even in thumbnail size they look great cindy!

<C_LION> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html

<C_LION> MOMCAT JUST IN TIME

<Kanga> wow, love those backgrounds!!!!

<C_LION> TY

<stubby> looks like they are pouring in C

<C_LION> ADN HERE I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE 4 PEOPLE

<stubby> no never

<C_LION> THIS CLASS IS A SURVEY OF TECHNIQUES NOT AN IN DEPTH DISCUSSION OF EACH ONE.

<Kanga> ahhhh

<C_LION> I WOULD LIKE TO DO A SERIES OF BACKGROUND CLASSES SO IF YOU SEE SOMETHING YOU WANT TO DO A MORE STEP-BY-STEP APPROACH LET ME KNOW AND WE WILL SCHEDULE SOMETHING.

<Kanga> ok!

<C_LION> PROVIDED OF COURSE JANET SAYS OK

cindyc wants more on the wax ones

<stubby> sounds good

Janet says OKAY!!

<C_LION> LOL

<stubby> Yea!

cindyc seconds that motion

<C_LION> TO HELP THE PAGE LOAD THE PICTURES ARE THUMBNAILS

<C_LION> not full size

<C_LION> CLICK ON EACH ONE AS WE GO ALONG

<C_LION> CLICKING THE BACK BUTTON WILL RETURN YOU TO THE MAIN PAGE

<C_LION> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html

SCstamper likes 10a

<C_LION> SHALL WE START WITH THE FIRST ONE?

<cindyc> sounds like a plan to me

<glitrbug> Very Pretty

<SCstamper> i think we shall

<Kanga> yep

<C_LION> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html

<tucsonbrookie> ok

<C_LION> DOING A BACKGROUND STAMPING DOES NOT HAVE TO END THERE

<C_LION> GOLD STAMPED ON BLACK CARDSTOCK AND SPOT COLORED

<C_LION> THIS GIVES MORE DEPTH AND A NEW LOOK TO IT

<SCstamper> it is beautiful!

<C_LION> TY THE STAMP IS A JUDIKINS

<C_LION> DONâT FORGET THAT ANOTHER SUBTLE BUT RICH BACKGROUND IDEA IS TO USE BLACK ON BLACK

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html thumbnail at top left

<LuniLadi> I always forget that

<C_LION> OR STAMP IN CLEAR INK ON COLORED CARDSTOCK AND EMBOSS WITH CLEAR EP

<C_LION> IT GIVES A VERY ELEGANT LOOK WHEN ADING AN ADDITIONAL COLOR WOULD BE GARISH

<Kanga> so you stamped, embossed in gold, and colored?

<C_LION> YES KANGA

<Kanga> ty

<C_LION> BUT NOT EVERY INCH OF THE PAGE

<cindyc> colored with?

<C_LION> GEL PENS

<C_LION> NEXT?

<cindyc> ty

<C_LION> FIGURE 2 WAS MADE WITH LUMIERES

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figure 2

<C_LION> USE A REPORT COVER, ACETATE OR FREEZER PAPER

<SCstamper> good thing seesa is away

<SCstamper> she loves those paints

<C_LION> PUT THE PAINTS DOWN AND SMOOSH THEM WITH ANOTHER LAYER, FOLD THE FREEZER PAPER ETC

<SCstamper> where did the black come from?

<C_LION> IF YOU USE ACETATE OR FREEZER PAPER YOU CAN USE THEM AS BACKGROUNDS TOO

<C_LION> BLACK CARDSTOCK

<C_LION> CAN YOU SEE THE LITTLE CIRCLE SHAPES?

<SCstamper> okay, so you smooshed the acatate and the cardstock together?

<cindyc> y

<phyl> yes

<MomCat> yes

<SCstamper> yes

<C_LION> OR SMOOSH THE ACETATE ON ACETATE SO YOU CAN SEE THE EFFECT YOU GET

<C_LION> BEFORE LAYING DOWN THE CARDSTOCK

<SCstamper> then rub on cardstock?

<C_LION> NOT RUB LAY IT DOWN

<SCstamper> that's what i meant, i just talk funny

<C_LION> AND GENTLY RUN HAND OR BRAYER OVER IT

<C_LION> OK

<phyl> what about the circle shapes?

<SCstamper> so the places where the paint is thick, is right where you put paint to smoosh?

<C_LION> THE ROUND CIRCLES COME FROM OPENING THE REPORT COVER AND LETTING BUBBLES GET TRAPPED

<phyl> oh

<C_LION> YES SC AND PUSH IT AROUND TO GET A THINNER LAYER

<SCstamper> i thought so just checking

<C_LION> IF IT DOES NOT COVER YOU CAN LAY IT DOWN A COUPLE OF TIMES LIKE I DID WITH THE SAMPE

<SCstamper> sometimes i read over stuff accidentally

<C_LION> NO MISTAKE IN STAMPING

<C_LION> OK?

<tucsonbrookie> ok

<SCstamper> yep

<Mary_ray> :-)

<C_LION> NEXT GO TO FIGURE 3

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figure 3

<C_LION> GOLD WEBBING SPRAY ON BLACK CARDSTOCK CAN BE USED BY ITSELF BUT CAN ALSO BE DRESSED UP A BIT WITH EMBOSSING POWDERS.

<C_LION> I STREAKED A PIGMENT PAD ACROSS THE WEBBING AND ADDED EP THEN HEATED

<sparkle> ahhh, this I could do with my 300 colors of EP!

<C_LION> DID IT A FEW MORE TIMES WITH OTHER COLORS

<cindyc> nice

<C_LION> YES IT US SPARKLE

<SCstamper> where can you get spray webbing? and don't say craft store, there are none here!

<Janet> or use laser foil, the scraps, while the webbing spray is still tacky

<C_LION> JANET CAN YOU ANSWER SC?

<SCstamper> there are no craft stores for hours

<Janet> any place that carries ArtQuest. I'm thinking Wacky Wagon in the mall has it

<SCstamper> if i drive to one

<C_LION> DO ANY MALL VENDORS STOCK WEBBING SPRAY?

<cindyc> does wacky have it?

<mj> walmart was or is just clearancing gold and silver webbing for $2

<Janet> (but walmart is evil)

<cindyc> some paint stores have it too

<C_LION> LOL

<Janet> (but can I be bought? $2 webbing spray, I might could)

<C_LION> YOU MAY BE ABLE TO MAILORDER IT FROM NASCO

<sparkle> wacky prolly has it

<mj> I got a couple of cans ;)

<Janet> shop Wacky Wagon in the mall

<sparkle> and rubber chicken for sure

<C_LION> OK NEXT ONE

<C_LION> AGAIN DRESSING UP WEBBED CARDSTOCK

<Janet> Rubber chicken has everything

<SCstamper> sorry,

<cindyc> pearled

<Janet> and so does Wacky Wagon

<C_LION> THIS TIME SIMPLY TAKING A BRUSH WITH PEARLEX ACROSS THE PAGE

<SCstamper> so is it sold at wal-mart in the craft section as webbing?

<Rene> url?

<MomCat> Maybe Rubber Art?

<cindyc> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html

<Rene> ty

<C_LION> i DO NOT KNOW IF YOU CAN SEE IT BUT THE DEPTH THIS GIVES A BACKGROUND IS VERY COOL

<sparkle> oh, rubber art prolly does too

<C_LION> WE ARE ON FIGURE 4 RENE

<SCstamper> are we still on number 2?

<C_LION> 4

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figure 4

<cindyc> gorgous

<SCstamper> wow missed two cause of my dumb computer

<C_LION> OK ANY QUESTIONS SO FAR?

<C_LION> ASK ME AFTER SC

<cindyc> nope, great job

<C_LION> OK SECOND ROW

<April> awesome, cindy1

<cindyc> oh, do you dab while partlly wet?

<tucsonbrookie> is that pearl ex over pigment ink?

<C_LION> ALL THE CARDS ON THIS ROW ARE MADE FROM HEATING FUSIBLE WEBBING ON CARDSTOCK

<April> cool1

<phyl> from the pre-stampong sewing days LOL

<C_LION> YES PHYL

<cindyc> me has tons...lol

<C_LION> YOU CAN BUY VARIOUS BRANDS A ND THEY ALL GIVE A DIFFERNT EFFECT

<phyl> threw mine away:(

<C_LION> i DID THE FIRST WITH MOMCAT IN MIND

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figure 4A

<C_LION> SNAKESKIN - VARIOUS METALLIC EPS ON A DIAMOND GRIDDED FUSIBLE WEB

<SCstamper> so you melt the webbing on the cardstock, and rub ink on it?

<SCstamper> oh eps okay

<SCstamper> wuld ink work?

<C_LION> YES IT CAN BLOW ABOUT SO YOU MIGHT WANT TO TUCK THE EDGES IN

<C_LION> OR MAKE A LARGER PIECE THAN YOU WANT TO END UP WITH

<C_LION> INK?

<cindyc> diamond grided???

<LuniLadi> you're melting it with a heatgun?

<phyl> How do yu melt it- is it two sided fusible or just one?

LuniLadi is so used to thinking "iron"

<SCstamper> yeah i don't have alot of ep

<C_LION> YES CINDY AS I SAID DIFFERNT BRANDS OF FUSIBLE WEB MAKE DIFFERNT PATTERNS

<cindyc> oh, missed that sorry

<C_LION> YES A HEATGUN IT MAKES THE HOLES

<phyl> from the bottom?

<C_LION> WE MAY BEED A WHOLE CLASS ON THIS ONE

<C_LION> YOU CAN PHYL

<C_LION> NEED

<MomCat> Yes, I think you need to do a class on fusible webbing

<C_LION> THE SECOND ONE IS BLACK EPS ON RED CARDSTOCK

<C_LION> I WILL MAKE A NOTE - CLASS ON FUSIBLE WEBBING

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figure4b

<April> on how to use a heat gun?

<phyl> Is this like Stitch witchery

<LuniLadi> wow C...great effects...who'd a thought!

<C_LION> 4 C IS JEWEL WEB - PELON FUSIBLE WITH METALLIC EPS 5

<C_LION> TY LUNI

<April> me too

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figure 4c

<phyl> I'm confused:(

<C_LION> IF YOU CAN BUY THE ONES THAT ARE NOT SEALED PACKAGES YOU CAN SEE THE PATTERN IN THE WEB

<C_LION> WHAT PHYL?

<phyl> is this one sided or two sided?Stick that is

<cindyc> guess aleenes with her extruded won't work as well...lol

<April> lol

<C_LION> 4D IS METALIC WEB COPPERS AND GOLDS

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figure 4d

<C_LION> iT IS JUST THE WEB PHYL NO FABRIC ON IT

<C_LION> SO IN EFFECT IT IS 2 SIDED

<cindyc> that is nice

<phyl> It's like the aleenes or stitch withcery? You just lay it on top of cardstock, melt and apply ep?

<LuniLadi> My god these are gorgeous C!

<C_LION> TY LUNI

<C_LION> YES PHYL, OK NEXT ROW

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figure 5a

<C_LION> THE NEXT 2 ARE POLISHED STONE TECHNIQUE

<C_LION> USING ALCOHOL BASED INKS, TRIA OR STUDIO 2

<C_LION> AVAILABLE AT FINE ART STORES USUALLY OR PLACES WITH GRAPHIC SUPPLIES

<cindyc> :X

<Kim> i'm stuck on fusible webbing--isn't it basicly paper-backed adhesive

<C_LION> YES KIM

<Kim> ty

<Janet> So explain how you did the fusible webbing one?

<phyl> please

<C_LION> CATCH ME AFTER CLASS IF YOU HAVE MORE QUESTIONS ABOUT WBBING

<C_LION> OK

<cindyc> it's in suze's book....lol

<C_LION> HEAT A PIECE IF FUSIBLE WEBBING THEN THROW EPS ON IT AND HEAT AGAIN

<Janet> Oh! I have that book. I guess I should crack the cover?

<April> good book!

<C_LION> REPEAT UNTIL YOU GET THE LOOK YOU WANT

<MomCat> C will do a whole class in the future with step by step samples

<April> good idea

<phyl> yes

<C_LION> YES

<cindyc> but cindy has really advanced it here...

<C_LION> OK POLISHED STONES FIGIRES 5 A AND B

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html

<C_LION> FIRST SPOT WITH KRYLON GOLD PENS AND THEN INK

<C_LION> THIS PROCESS IS TRULY A CLASS BY ITSELF SO WE WILL JUST TOUCH ON IT

<sparkle> (Metallic Polished Stones...the original didn't use the krylon markers <G>)

<Marion> On cs or acetate?

<cindyc> g

<C_LION> YES SPARKLE IT GIVES A MARBLES VEINING

<sparkle> I know, I was just correcting the technique name <G>

<C_LION> THE BACKGROUND FOR THE WEB PAGE IS ALSO A PIECE OF POLISHED STONE I DID

<cindyc> encore is better than the krylon btw

<Janet> so tell us how to make these?

<Susie> encore?

<C_LION> IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT THE BLENDER IS DENATURED ALCOHOL

<cindyc> ask later....lol

<kat> encore ink or ink pad

<cindyc> either or

<C_LION> IF YOU USE ISOPROPYL YOU GET A FOGGY LOOK AND I AM NOT FOND OF IT

<cindyc> shhhh

<Susie> Instead of the Krylon pen? How do you get it on, DTP?

<cindyc> shhhh y

<cindyc> sorry cindy

<C_LION> YOU BASICALLY DAB SPOTS OF KRYLON LEAFING PENS ON CARDSTOCK - GLOSSY

<Janet> you can polish it up with a tissue (hence "polished stone") that takes care of the foggy look

<MomCat> I think C_Lion's plan was to give us a quick over veiw so we could choose the ones we want complete classes on.

<cak> (she should know better. We want them *all*)

<C_LION> WITH SPOTS OF ABOUT 3 COLORS OF INK ON FELT OR COSMETIC PAD DAB IT OVER THE CARDSTOCK

<LuniLadi> not that we would say "all" mom.....lol

<tucsonbrookie> u huh

<C_LION> THE KRYLON WITH VEIN

<C_LION> WILL

<LuniLadi> 2 peas in a pod cak :)

<C_LION> VWIN OUT LOOKING LIKE MARBLE

<C_LION> VEIN, SHEESH

<C_LION> SO YOU ALL WANT A CLASS ON POLISHED STONE?

<Mary_ray> Do you actually stamp on the paper with the polished stone technique? (I've had trouble with that) Or just use it for layering?

<April> yeah

<frenchy> yes

<tucsonbrookie> yes

<LuniLadi> she *asks*...lol

<C_LION> I TEND TO LAYER WITH IT MARY RAE

<Kim> i have stamped on it

<C_LION> UNLESS...............

<phyl> I'm still "stuck" on the fusible webbing LOL

<cindyc> i do both

<LuniLadi> me too...with memories I think

<C_LION> PHYL WE WILL DO A WHOLE CLASS ON WEBBING

<phyl> YES!!!

<phyl> ty

<frenchy> yes

<C_LION> IF YOU LOOK AT THE SAMPLE 6

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figure 6a

<C_LION> FIRST TIME I DID THIS IT WAS AN ACCIDENT

LuniLadi is knocked out by this one

<Legs> in my class tomorrow I'll show stamping on polished stone

<C_LION> I SPILLED THE BLENDER,OR LIKELY SOME CAT DID IT FOR ME

<C_LION> THE INKS SEPARATED OUT AND LEFT THIS MUTED SPACE

<Mary_ray> I was gonna say - how much of a role do the cats play in these backgrounds!?

<C_LION> PERFECT FOR FRAMING A STAMPING

<LuniLadi> yeppers

<Mary_ray> what blender?

<LuniLadi> denatured alcohol

<C_LION> FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW ME WELL I RAISED PUREBRED CATS FOR YEARS

<C_LION> YES DENATURED OR ISOPROPYL BUT I PREFER THE FORMER

<Mary_ray> what's the difference (just curious)\

<Kim> are you spritzing this on?

<C_LION> MY CRAFT ROOM HAS A SCREEN DOOR

<C_LION> KIM I SPILLED IT

<Kim> hmmmm . . .

<C_LION> I DI NOT LIKE THE FOGGYNESS OF THE ISOPROPYL

<Mary_ray> is denatured just as available?

<LuniLadi> that's regular right?

<the> lol

<C_LION> JANET SAYS YOU CAN RID IT BY BUFFING WITH TISSUE

<cindyc> but if you do that you often wipe of the metallic.... so beware

<C_LION> YOU CAN FIND DENATURED CHEAP AT A REGULAR PAINT STORE OR HOME DEPOT

<Legs> spray it with krylon Crystal Clear..that'll bring up the shine plus intensify the colors

<C_LION> LET THESE DRY FIRST

<C_LION> THEY DRY FAST

<LuniLadi> oooo have to try that legs

<cindyc> i do that to lea

<cindyc> lol

<C_LION> FOR A FINISHED LOOK EDGE THESE WITH THE KRYLON PENS

<Holly> I have trouble with my krylon pens when I try to edge

<MomCat> C_Lion will be doing these in future classes. So check the Cyberstampers.com schedule often

<C_LION> WHY HOLLY

<cindyc hears thunder again :-(

<Holly> they get frayed and then don't work

<cindyc> notch the end holly

<Susie> then slip the paper in the notch?

<Holly> taper it or actually cut out a groove?

<C_LION> AND DON'T PUSH SO HAR ON THE TIP ANGLE THEM A BIT

<cindyc> y

<C_LION> OK WE HAVE TO MOVE TO GET TO THE REST

<Legs> or take out the nib and turn it around.....

MomCat thinks we may need to let C_Lion run throught these quickly so we will know what they are when we see them on the schedule

<Holly> okay

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html

<C_LION> 7A DPT AND MOR

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figure 7a

<C_LION> USE A DPT TECHNIQUE DABBING AND BLENDING SEVERAL DYE INKS

<C_LION> ON WHITE GLOSSY CARDSTOCK

<Holly> beauriful!

<C_LION> WAVE IT A FEW TIMES TO DRY

<C_LION> THEN GET A BUNCH OF SMALL STAMPS AND AGAIN USING DYE INKS STAMP THEM ALL OVER

<C_LION> DO NOT FORGET TO HAVE SOME STAMPED OFF THE EDGE OF THE CARD

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html 7

<C_LION> THIS IS A GREAT USE FOR ALL THOSE TINY STAMPS YOU HAVE FROM GRAB BAGS

<C_LION> IN THE END YOU CAN STAMP BOLDER IMAGES IN BLACK PIGMENT AND EMBOSS WITH CLEAR FOR A MORE DRAMATIC EFFECT

<Holly> i love that feather stamp on that sample

<C_LION> tHIS IS A FUN CLASS AND I WILL SCHEDULE ONE

<C_LION> COULD BE A MAGENTA HOLLY

<Mary_ray> dtp on glossy - I haven't tried that

<Holly> thx

<Frances> you mean on the cybermall this week CLion?

<C_LION> NOT THIS WEEK FRANCES IN THE WEEKS TO COME

<Frances> ok

<phyl1> how many weeks to come?

<Holly> lol

<phyl1> i came in late and missed this

<anno> I love that sample too.. that feather one..

<C_LION> I WILL GET WITH DEB AND BRENDA TO SCHEDULE SOME THINGS

<cindyc> next?

<anno> that's almost my favorite!

<MomCat> Phyl, watch the schedule

<C_LION> AS MANY AS IT TAKES PHYL

<phyl1> good

<Holly> my favorite is the webbed pearl

<C_LION> OK NEXY

<anno> oops..

<anno> april!

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figures 8abc

<anno> I did a you!

<C_LION> 8 A B C WAX MAGIC

<C_LION> YOU AWAKE LEA?

<Legs> yes

<C_LION> THESE WERE MADE WITH FUTURE FLOOR FINISH AND METALLIC ACRYLIC PAINTS.

<cindyc> oooooo!

<Holly> oh I was thinking it was going to be encaustic wax!

<kat> these are awesome

<cindyc> i love fff

<MagiStmpr> nice

<C_LION> i SQUIRTED IT ON SOME FREEZER PAPER, SHINY SIDE UP

cindyc didnt' know this one!

<tucsonbrookie> wow

<Legs> metallic acrylics? like lumieres? like folk art acrylics? like Doc martin's acrylics?

<C_LION> ALL OF THEM LEA

<Mary_ray> Did you create this combination, CLion?

<C_LION> ANY OF THEM

<LuniLadi> not that we have that much.....not :)

<kat> i didn't either cindyc

<Legs> okie dokie

<C_LION> I MAY TRY ACRYLIC INKS NEXT

<Holly> i love the names you gave them

<C_LION> THE FIRST ONE IS MORE WAX THAN PAINT

<Kim> squirted everything all together floor wax and acrylics?

<LuniLadi> looks like lunalites

<C_LION> I PUT THE PINS ON WITH A CRAFT STICK

<Legs> you squirted the wax or the acrylics onto the freezer paper?

<C_LION> SO I COULD MIX EM A BIT

<C_LION> YES LEA

<Legs> yes what

<Holly> what do you do, squirt it on the freezer paper and then push the cardstock on to the mixture and lift it off?

<C_LION> THEI WILL CERTAINLY BE A CLASS

<cindyc> pins?

<C_LION> YES I SQUIRTED ETC

<Mary_ray> did you come up with this idea, CLion?

<C_LION> YES HOLLY

<Legs> WHICH ONE OR BOTH???????

<C_LION> ALSO DID SOME ON GLOSSY BUT THE SCANS DID NOT DO THEM JUSTICE. THEY WERE VERY DEEP LOOKING BUT SUBTLE

<C_LION> BOTH LEA

<Legs> ok, like equal parts?

<C_LION> BUT I PREFERED THE LOOK OF ADDING THE PAINS WITH A CRAFTSTIC FOR CONTROL AND MIXING

Holly thinks she has to start playing!

<C_LION> NO MORE WAX THAN PAINT

MomCat is sure C_Lion will give all the details in a later class.

<Legs> you put the pins on with a craft stick...I am totally missing something here

<LuniLadi> paints, lea

<C_LION> PAINTS

<Holly> she meant paints legs

MomCat looks at the clock and sees that there are only 5 minutes left

<Legs> okkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

<C_LION> WHITE CARDSTOCK GAVE A PASTEL EFFECT

<Holly> she put the paints on with a craft stick so she would have more control

<Mary_ray> Just another reason to get the Future Floor Wax I've been putting off getting

<C_LION> AND i AM NOT A PASTEL GIRLK

<C_LION> OK NEXT

<C_LION> MASKING PEARLS

<SCstamper> bye all

<Mary_ray> But Clion, you never said - did you create this idea?

<C_LION> SE OLD MOSTLY DRY LITTLE STAMP PAD LIKE CATS-EYES OR PETAL POINTS

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html figure 9

<C_LION> USE EVEN

<C_LION> TEAR A PAPER AND LAY IT ON YOUR BLACK CARDSTOCK. STREAK THE PAD ACROSS THE TORN EDGE ON LIGHTLY ON THE CARDSTOCK

<C_LION> RUB YOUR PEARLEX ACROSS THE INKED SURFACE AND HEAT LIGHTLY TO SET AND DRY THE CARDSTOCK

<C_LION> MOVE THE TORN PAPER AROUND A BIT EVEN TURN IT OVER AND DO THE NEXT Layer

<C_LION> THE ONE I HAVE FOR A SAMPLE IS KIND OF AN AURORA BOREALIS

<C_LION> GOOD USE FOR OLD STAMP PADS YOU DO NOT WANT TO REINK

<C_LION> OR THE CHEAP ONES THAT COME WITH SOME KITS

<C_LION> OK LAST TECHNIQUE

<C_LION> BOTTOM ROW

<MomCat> http://www.geocities.com/~purringfox/backgrounds.html Figures 10a and 10b

<C_LION> 10 A B MARKER MAGIC

<C_LION> THESE ARE MADE WITH MARVY METALLIC MARKERS

<tucsonbrookie> fab

<C_LION> SPRAY A PICE OF GLOSSY BLACK GARDSTOCH VERY LIGHTLY

<C_LION> LOL I REALLY CAN SPELL

<Mary_ray> with water?

<C_LION> MARK ALL OVE WITH THE MARKERS

<C_LION> YES MARY

<C_LION> SPRAY WITH WATER

<tucsonbrookie> spray lightly with water?

<tucsonbrookie> ok

<C_LION> SPRAY AGAIN AND WATCH THE COLORS RUN

<C_LION> YOU CAN ALSO PICK THE CARDSTOCK UP AND TILT IT ABOUT TO INTENSIFY THE EFFECT

C_LION> E MAIL ME AT PURRINGFOX@ATT.NET TO LET ME KNOW CLASSES YOU WANT
